From tlic Times. Uillstllle, Va.
I suffered with diarrhoea for a long
time ana thought I wuspast being cured.
I had spent much time and money and
Buffered so much misery that I had al
most decided to give up all hopes of re
covery and await the result, but notic
ing the advertisement of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera ond Diarrhoea Remedy
and also some testimonials stating how
some wonderful cures had been wrought
by this remedy, I decided to try it.
After taking a fswj doses I was entirely
well ot that trouble, and I wish to say
further to my readers and fellow-sufferers
that I am a hale and hearty man to
day and feel as well as X ever did in my
life. 0. R. Moore. Sold by B'.akeley &

GLOOMY FEELING
HAS DEEPENED
General Impression Now Prevails T!a!
Biers Will Not Recede.
UNREST AT
PRETORIA GREAT
Transvaal Government Has Already
Begun to Appoint Officers to Go to
the Front in the Event of Hostilities,
London, Sept. 27. The Transvaal sit
uation remains unchanged, though if
anything, the feeling of gloom has
deepened. Cablegrams from Pretoria
and Cape Town ehow that the general
impression prevails there that the Boers
will not recede from their position, and
that feeling of nnrest at Pretoria las
been intensified.
A dispatch today announces that the
Transvaal government has begin to ap
point officers to go to the front in case of
hostilities. The executive council of the
Transvaal has prolonged the eitting of
yesterday, and has been in constant
telegraphic communicition with tthe
Orange Free State. No decision, it is
now said, regarding the attitude cf the
free state, has yet been reached. The
TranBvaal'a reply to the dispatch of
Secretary Chamberlain will bo drafted
today and submitted to tho raad in
secret eeesion. The members appear
convinced that Great Britain is deter
mined on war. Being anxious not to
force Great Britain's hand, the Boers
will not take any definite steps until the
draft of their reply is considered, but
notice has been issued to the burghers
to be in readiness for the commanderinj,
which will be commenced shortly.
Tho Orange Free State raad continues
in secret session.
A telegram from Johannesburg says
that an American named Blake is raising
an American corps cf 500 men for ihe
Boere.
The war office has ordered a transpoit
and Fupplies for an army corps to pre
pare to proceed to the Cape. This is a
very important order, and means the
early dispatch of any army corps. The
men of twenty-five companies are being
medically examined at Alderehot today.
In spite of these warlike preparation?,
South African circles in London still be
lieve there will be no war, and that the
Boers will finally concede to the British
demands.
